RIVERSIDE, Calif. - The Cal State Fullerton Titans women's basketball team lost 61-51 in their 2024-25 season finale against UC Riverside on Saturday at the SRC Arena.
With the Titans top scorer and No. 3 leader in the Big West,
Aaliyah Stanton out with a broken finger, the Titans were led by the underclassmen duo of
Eva Levingston and
Jana Falsdottir. Â
Eva Levingston scored a new career high 17 points. Â In just the third start of her career,
Jana Falsdottir scored 14 points. Â
Aixchel Hernandez finished her collegiate career just shy of a double-double after scoring 8 points and pulling down 11 rebounds.  The Titans shot a little better than the Highlanders after shooting 39.2% from the floor to the Highlanders 37.9%.  However, the Titans went 1-for-8 from beyond the arc and Highlanders went 4-for-20.  The Highlands outrebounded the Titans 39-to-29 including 14 offensive boards to the Titans seven.
Jana Falsdottir got the scoring started for the Titans as the Titans assisted nearly every field goal to start the game.
Â
After the Highlanders pulled away a bit, the Titans tied the game at 9-9.Â
Â
The Highlanders 15-12 after the first quarter of play.Â
The Titans took an early lead to start the second quarter after going on a 8-5 run to start the quarter.
Â
The Highlanders made two baskets during the final two minutes to open up a 28-23 lead heading into halftime.
Levingston did a lot of the heavy lifting for the Titans in the 3rd quarter as she scored 9 of the Titans 13 points during the quarter.
Â
The Highlanders stretched their lead to 11 points before Levingston hit a jumper to bring the lead back under double digits as the Highlanders led 45-36 at the end of the third quarter.
The Titans continued to hang around the Highlanders during the fourth quarter as they cut the UCR lead down to 5 points with 3:38 left after layups from Levingston and
Madelynn Muniz.
Â
However, the Highlanders went on a 10-2 run to pull away from the Titans during the final three minutes of play.
The Titans finished the season with a 7-23 overall record and 5-15 record in conference play.  They played some of their basketball of the season from late January to Mid-February as they went 5-1 during that frame but they couldn't maintain it and went 0-5 during the final stretch of the season. The Titans had two seniors who will graduate in
Aixchel Hernandez and
Emily Strachan. The Titans will have a lot to build on as six of the Titans regulars were underclassmen with four of them being freshman. Â Two of their top scorers were sophomores in
Aaliyah Stanton (14.3 PPG) and
Eva Levingston (8.0 PPG, 8.0 RPG).
